bubur kacang hijau

Indonesian sweet mung-bean porridge with palm sugar, pandan, ginger and coconut milk.

About bubur kacang hijau

Bubur Kacang Hijau is an Indonesian sweet porridge of whole green mung beans, coconut milk and palm sugar. This profile follows the common pandan-and-ginger version, keeping rice flour only as the source's optional thickener.

Palm sugar brings dark caramel sweetness while coconut milk softens it with mellow richness. Pandan supplies a grassy vanilla-like perfume, ginger adds warm freshness and a small amount of salt sharpens the beans' earthy flavour.

The porridge is loose but substantial, with swollen green beans that have begun to split in a glossy tan-brown liquid. Coconut milk makes the body creamy, while the beans retain enough shape to give each spoonful a soft, grainy texture.
